L'Action française, organ of integral nationalism (French: L'Action française, organe du nationalisme intégral) was a royalist French newspaper founded in Paris in March 1908. It was banned during the Liberation of France in August 1944.

The newspaper succeeded the Revue d'Action française of Henri Vaugeois and Maurice Pujo. Based on the Rue de Rome in Paris, its director was Charles Maurras, the leader of the monarchist Action Française movement. Its editorial line is classified as far-right due to its violent anti-parliamentarianism, anti-republicanism, and antisemitism. For a brief period, it also published a weekly edition titled L'Action française du dimanche.
